Frontline Plus Cat - 3 Pipettes

Cats groom constantly, which is part of why a flea problem on a cat can be harder to spot early than on a dog — by the time it's obvious, the infestation is usually well underway.

Frontline Plus for cats is a veterinary spot-on parasiticide applied from a pipette, with fipronil and s-methoprene as the active ingredients. Boehringer Ingelheim's instruction is to use it every 4 weeks all year round, and this pack contains 3 pipettes.

• Spot-on pipette application
• Active ingredients: fipronil and s-methoprene
• For cats from 8 weeks of age weighing at least 1kg, and ferrets from 6 months
• Kills fleas within 24 hours and ticks within 48 hours, per the manufacturer
• Apply every 4 weeks all year round
• Pack of 3 pipettes

On safety. Boehringer Ingelheim's instruction is not to bathe your cat for 2 days after application, and this product isn't suitable for rabbits — children shouldn't be allowed to handle or sleep with a treated animal until the application site is dry, and an unwell cat should see a vet before it's applied at all.

Who it's for: owners of a cat wanting a scheduled flea and tick routine, and multi-pet households where a ferret is also present, since it's stated as suitable from 6 months for ferrets too.
